Formed in 2013, Witch Blade is a part of the rapidly growing throwback heavy metal scene in Sweden. It’s not like the scene ever really went away, but with bands like Night, Slingblade, Air Raid, Trial and Portrait slogging away it’s pretty clear that there’s a large niche community of the ’80s worshipping metal heads nestled in Sweden. Witch Blade fits nicely amongst their countrymen, favoring the dual guitar harmonies of Accept and Iron Maiden retrofitted with touches of Saxon and Anvil. While these types of retro-tinged heavy metal outfits are a dime-a-dozen these days, Witch Blade manages to stand out!
